MedicalMedical and Scientific Information about Cannabis (marijuana)

Discover how to talk to your doctor about medical cannabis, how to become a state-authorized patient (where legal), basic science and legal rights for patients, how to safely use medical cannabis, and how to get involved with medical cannabis advocacy.

Welcome medical professionals! I am honored to be able to welcome you to the medical professionals section of the American For Safe Access website, where you will find useful information regarding medical marijuana practice policies and procedures in your locality, as well as scientific and practice ethics information.

Medical marijuana works even when opiates don't. The great utility of medical cannabis is, in part, the remarkable safety of the medicine and lack of serious side effects; the other is the unique breadth of its therapeutic actions.
